While Automobile traffic accidents are the number one cause of death for Americans, Canadians ages 3 to 33 ad while Automobile traffic accidents are the most common source of personal injury the real Statistics still indicate that hospital deaths due to hospital acquired sickness, medical errors, medical negligence exceedingly surpass all of these numbers. And yet here not enough is being done about this and why is that?

One in 18 patients suffered potentially preventable injuries after being admitted to Canadian hospitals, according to a new two-year study. Health-care and medication-related trauma such as bed sores and the side effects of receiving the wrong medication accounted for 37 per cent of the documented incidents. Infections made up an additional 37 per cent, followed by procedure-related trauma like bleeding after surgery (23 per cent), and patient accidents (3 per cent). Multiple forms of patient harm were involved in one out of every five cases. https://www.cihi.ca/en/health-system-performance/quality-of-care-and-outcomes/1-in-18-patients-experiences-harm-in-canadian-hospitals

The really sad, unacceptable aspect of our still often inadequate, poor medical care system in Canada is that our pretentious governments do not manage it at all, as a result it has a lot of short comings, serious short comings one tends to find out only when one gets sick and goes to the doctors, hospitals.. and why does our governments, leader not care? they are still getting paid to look after us firstly.. and unless that is changed for them they will continue that way too.. https://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/12/11/hospital-deaths-account-for-half-of-deaths-annually/

Last Monday FEB 22, I had now met in the emergency ward of the MONTREAL WEST ISLAND Pointe Claire Lakeshore General Hospital a patient who was next to my father, As you know my father was admitted here also due to cardiac failure, water on the lung on Monday now, M Bergeron ( NOT HER REAL NAME ) M Bergeron now she had fallen on the street on the ice had broken her arm, and had also hurt her hip. The hospital had put a cast on her arm, and next the emergency room, triage nurses had wrongfully tried repeatedly to force the patient to walk so that she could be discharged. The patient was crying in agony in pain while the cruel, despotic, unsympathetic nurses at the LGH were forcing her to walk in my witness as well. And days later the same patient was still in the same bed and had not received any appropriate treatment for her leg, she now was transferred to the overflow ward where she was next forgotten by her original doctor, even though finally it was confirmed that she did have a fractured hip. I am confident that had she been a young person she would have got the treatment within 24 hours. On Friday Feb 26, now five days later, the nurse on her morning rounds discovers M Bergeron had now a high temperature, was vomiting, and had diarrhea, and M Bergeron was send to the isolation room in the same section. The Nurse next phoned a new doctor from the ER to come and see her which he did about 10.30 AM, THAT SHE TOO NOW HAD THE nova VIRUS, FOOD POISONING VIRUS, THAT WAS RAMPANT ON THE FOURTH FLOOR, the LGH orthopedic ward, so also it was very likely the visiting doctor from the orthopedic floor who had visited her in the first emergency center that passed it on to her, cause she was not seen by any doctors in the overflow section prior to today, and I have been there for the whole week now too with my father. The new emergency doctor phoned the original doctor in my presence and complained to him he had neglected his patient. M Bergeron and arranges medical tests CT scan for her, which were done about 3.00 pm today. About 7.00 pm next during evening shift M Bergeron had shit in her diaper and she as I had heard had called both senior nurses on duty to change her diaper, and they had refused to do so, it was supposedly below their dignity to do so, AND THE MALE ORDERLY HAD GONE FOR HIS BREAK, AND SO M Bergeron SHE LAY THERE IN HER SHIT, AND M Bergeron HAD NEXT ASKED ME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. SHE ALSO COMPLAINED TO ME SHE WAS FREEZING IN HER ISOLATION ROOM, AND I TALKED TO THE NURSES ON DUTY BUT THE NURSES ON DUTY THIS EVENING NOW STILL REFUSED TO CHANGE HER DIAPER AND COULD NOT HELP HER WITH THE HEAT PROBLEM.

I know from personal experiences and that even of another family member, My father, the after Emergency Hospital visit medical follow services at McGill University Hospitals especially such as the Montreal Jewish General Hospital, and the Lake shore General Hospital tend to be very pathetic, unacceptably disastrous, really bad, inadequate compared to other Hospitals.. I saw firsthand how my own father got poor, useless medical follow-up in the last 2 years at the LGH. Now one in 20 Canadians who has a heart attack – a common cause of rehospitalization – is urgently readmitted within a month of being discharged, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information. Now also include some other common serious sickness as well. An analysis published last year in the New England Journal of Medicine showed the chances of rehospitalization only increase over time. Generally, the sicker the patient and the longer and more frequently they spent time in hospitals, the greater their chances of dying or being rehospitalized. For one example, many patients who leave hospital with chronic illnesses such as heart failure or diabetes are at high risk of being readmitted. But often, they are left to cope on their own. Many patients do not get clear instructions on what medications they should be taking, and they frequently have difficulties making additional, specific doctor appointments to continue treatment outside the hospital. A number of patients return because they do not have access to a competent family doctor and so are regular users of the emergency room.

Now speaking about useless medical care, deaths.. Relocate all the doctor’s offices and related tests to the local Hospitals and have them work the evening shifts, there for a start.. 4 to 12 pm, What you did not notice that many local Hospital facilties are not being even used evenings?

.

You should know by now the standard tests that most Doctors prescribe, X-rays and EKG’s, etc., now tend to be propitious, basic, pretentious, too often useless, a waste of tax payer’s money as well especially if you are seriously ill.. That is cause there are good and bad doctors, and most of them seem to be bad these days. Don’t believe me find out for yourself.. I recently saw 4 incompetent doctors who ran the same useless tests, cause they did not know what else to do in fact.. needless to say they were of no legitimate, adequate help to me.. yes they admitted there was a problem they were unfamiliar with though.. so what.. what about their real medical help? I measure real results not the degrees they supposedly do have..

My neighbor and his wife go to one local McGill doctor and he said there is no cure for your wife’s arm pain. he goes to another McGill doctor and the doctor says there is a cure, it requires surgery. How can you have one Doctor so stupid now ?

.

More and more people I talk to agree with me that there are now much to many indifferent doctors and nurses, social welfare workers now too need to be held criminally responsible for their false, past neglect, abuse of their patients, people in their care in reality. I agree. I rightfully do now demand it.

Don’t get the false impression that Canada’s health services is really bad, it is not, it is adequate, but it can be improved, and so can the services we get from the local doctors now too. I found that the Health care in Montreal Quebec is one of the best in Canada.. and I too have had serious problems.. including congestive heart failure, heart attack, heart surgery, diabetes, etc., and I continue to get good care in Montreal… the care you get depends on the doctor you selected as well.. there are badly managed Hospitals and bad doctors in every province in Canada too as well as good ones.. The McGill University Hospitals still do tend to provide some of the worst medical care over other local Hospitals too.. While the health care in Montreal that still needs great improvements surpasses significantly what I have experienced in Calgary where the cheap Albertan government has not given enough budget money for the proper medical care, surgery firstly.. http://www.calgaryherald.com/health+care+system+unhealthy/2619604/story.html

.

The doctor examining an elderly patient who was complaining of his chronic pains next says , “I am sorry there is nothing I can do for you”. The Patient replies, “Doctor if it was your own pain you would have found a cure for it.”

The type of service you will get really depends on the type of doctor you have, on the province you are in, on the specific hospital you go to as well and it varies.. from bad, very poor to great. You may have to go to at least 3 different doctors as a result.

CANADIAN HEALTH CARE CAN CERTAINLY BE IMPROVED AT ALL TIMES.

.

Here is an undeniable fact.. Most of the major sicknesses such as cancer, heart sicknesses are firstly actually due to poor eating habits, eating junk food.. http://stayinhealth.wordpress.com/ AND it is a fact that a proper eating diet can help a lot of people not to get sick again too.. thus the regular services of a dietician, which also is less costly over a visit to a doctor too, would help almost every sick person in Canada, even to reduce next the number of Doctor, hospital visits and yet Hospitals, governments wrongfully refuse to provide such services exept to the selected few patients.

A man approaches the front reception desk of a local Hospital and says to the receptionist ” The Hospital Ombudsman says I am crazy”. The receptionist replies “the Psych ward is on the second floor and someone can help you to get there”. He replies “Good and thank you, I want to commit MY WIFE to the ward”.

.

A causally dressed visitor was standing by a recently admitted patients in the Hospital triage section, discovered many persons coming to ask him medical questions, and when he asked them why they were coming to him they had replied ” I thought you were a doctor cause you were standing there doing nothing”.

Many matured senior patients with serious medical problems they tend to return solely to the Emergency rooms because they they have learned that family doctor does not have the necessary medical equipment, tools, tests to diagnose their SERIOUS MEDICAL PROBLMES, only the Hospitals tend to have them generally and so they now are regular users of the emergency room..

.

Proper medical care and not pretentious Medicare is still our Canadian right.

Most Canadian Medicare, Hospital administrators in reality still do not not try to improve the medical care system, do not try reduce the Medical costs, nor do they try to identify the management of chronic diseases as a way of improving patient care and reducing hospital costs. Why should they after all the more patients, the more important they feel they are. http://postedat.wordpress.com/2010/05/17/abused-how-much-abuse-is-acceptable-none/

Meanwhile a Toronto doctor is facing a disciplinary hearing over allegations he approved special meal allowances for people on welfare and disability programs according to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. Dr. Roland Wong, said he continues to approve applications for the special diet but only if he believes patients have an underlying medical condition that qualifies them for the financial supplement. “Today, I signed maybe five, four,” he said. “Sometimes more, depends.” He accused the auditor general of having a very “slanted view” of the program, and suggested he should be looking instead at the woefully inadequate support payments paid to people in need. Wong said he wasn’t overly concerned about the disciplinary hearing because it was based on a complaint laid against him by a municipal councillor. “This is a case of politicians against a physician, not the patient against the physician,” he said. The Special Diet Allowance provides up to $250 per month to a person on social assistance who requires special foods for such conditions as diabetes. Councillor Doug Holyday said . “This can’t go on.” http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/torsun/091209/canada/doc_faces_probe_over_dietary_payouts

Quebec and other provinces have no such adequate help program and why?

Mean while a Whitby law firm is filing a $20-million class action against Moonshin Tattoo in Mississauga and the Peel Region Health Department, alleging that the parlour used unsterilized needles when tatooing as many as 3,000 people over a four-year period — exposing them to possible diseases. It’s the second such lawsuit filed by lawyers Todd J. McCarthy and Sean A. Brown, of Flaherty Dow Elliott & McCarthy — former legal home of federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty — which earlier sued Longhorn Custom Body Art, an Oshawa tattoo studio, in a $10-million lawsuit after Durham Region health authorities urged 2,000 clients to get tested for HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. The suit alleges that health authoritues were required by law to inspect the tatoo parlour at least once a year. The claim alleges the first inspection at Moonshin took place in early 2005, shortly after the tattoo parlour opened. However, the suit claims that next inspection was not until Feb. 11, 2009, and found that as many as 3,000 individuals may have been exposed to equipment that was not adequately sterilized.
